Hi, everyone,

After reading plaincrazy's article, I found he is right.
I guess he is using a toggle type air valve silimilar to the one that ghost_rider posted at #3 post.

But ghost_rider's is a traditional version that looks fine and works fine too.
As a dealer of Spring Air in Korea, I've tested and used several types of V/V from spring air for years.

The toggle type valve plaincrazy used had been produced for a short while, and discontinued.
He is correct on what he mentioned. It needs a quite deal of force to initiate legs down at the very beginning.
We've found the same problem and reported to Spring Air some years ago.

Plaincrazy, I believe you can ask a recall to Spring Air and you will be supplied by a new one. They now manufactures sliding type air valves like other conventional ones out there.

It was their only mistake they've ever made for a very short period of time, and a few has been made and supplied.

Hope above would be helpful to you.
